Royalcam News

WYL and BOK who raised a chick at Top Flat Track during 2024 are the new Royalcam pair this season. They are nesting at Plateau this season. The fertile egg was laid on the 6th of November and will be incubated for an average of 79 days before hatching.

Like last years Royalcam pair WYL and BOK will receive GPS trackers, we will be able to follow their foraging journeys as they take turns to incubate the egg. BOK now has a GPS tag and WYL will be fitted with his tag after he returns from his foraging trip. BOK has been on the nest for 11 days now so WYL should be in soon.

It will be at least a week before we start updating the Royalcam pairs GPS tracks.

2025/26 season update

Egg laying is over, 47 eggs were laid in total, some of the later eggs are still to be candled.

Candling is the term used to describe shining a light through the eggshell. This is best done after 10 days for toroa eggs. One egg has been established as not being viable using this technique, but the pair will be held on a dummy egg in case we need to use them as foster parents.

Read more about our work with the toroa here: https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-a ... albatross/

Parents take turns incubating their large, single egg for the next 2.5 months until the chick hatches. Incubation stints can be quite short at the beginning and the end of the eggs incubation but often become quite long during the middle as they need to find enough food for themselves and the new chick to come.

Adolescents have started arriving on the headland. These are 4- to 7-year-olds who have not touched land since fledging at 7.5 months of age. They can be a little unstable on their legs initially. They come right on their own.
This male with a green band is not previously known to be on Royalcam and is now banded with a black alphanumeric band.

This 4-year-old female who has also received an alpha numeric band is the 2021 chick of last season’s Royalcam parents. This Signal Station Trig chick was raised the same season as Tiaki. She has been banded YC18.

Kaewa, The 2025 Royalcam chick.

Kaewa has crossed the Pacific Ocean | Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa and is now foraging in the Humboldt Current off the coast of Chile.

Te Poari a Pukekura, a joint trust made up of Te Rūnanga o Ōtākou members, Korako Karetai Trust, Dunedin City Council and DOC have gifted Signal Station Flat, the 2025 Royalcam chick, now a journeying juvenile the name Kaewa, meaning traveller/adventurer.

Kaewa has travelled over 10,000 km so far. As the juveniles are no longer migrating but foraging the movements are not so obvious on the map at this scale.

Background on data collection

All toroa at Pukekura have been banded with a uniquely numbered Stainless-Steel band since 1936. A colour combination for an alphanumeric band on the opposite leg means quicker identification.

Banding ensures that we will be able to recognise everyone in years to come and be able to collect lifespan and breeding success data.

Geo Positioning System (GPS) tags are attached to back feathers and will moult off. They send the data via satellite so it can be viewed without retrieving the tag.

Geo Location Sensors (GLS) are cable tied to the Stainless-Steel band have a long-life battery of over 3 years but must be retrieved from the bird to be able to download the data.

Past Royalcam family’s news

Read more about the Royalcam families here: https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-a ... al-family/

The parents (LGK and LGL) of Karere,Tiaki and Kiwa are now on a fertile egg at Top Flat. YWK and KGY, Moana’s parents also have a fertile egg this season and Tūmanako’s dad BK and his new RLW also have a fertile egg.

GO and WO, the foster parents of 2018 chick Amīria are nesting but sadly their egg was found broken. They are on a dummy egg to hold them as potential foster parents.

Past Royalcam chicks that have returned to Pukekura are Moana,Tūmanako and Amīria.
Tūmanako, who fledged in 2017, returned at the end of 2021 and has been ‘keeping company’ with a 7-year-old female (i.e. serious about breeding).
